When I made the S.I.D and the ARG Factory thread, a user named Zyn (which I presume to be a professional in the SCP Universe) was confused by a lot of my ideas. More specifically, missions.

Now, missions are fairly basic, which will most likely require a lot of pages to create. At least four pages for the first mission. One for each result and one for the Mission page at minimum.

Each mission is given it's own designation within the Special Investigation Unit of the Special Incidents Department. Now, your decisions don't exactly change the story, but there's supposed to be a pang of regret if you choose the wrong decision. Like after you choose it, you would exactly know the final words of the person you chose.

The format these would go in:

Mission Type: Training, Infraction, Incident

Codename:

Number involved:

Then background, an investigation report involving the person, and if there were any SCPs involved.

Now, the missions are supposed to include forewords from the director of the S.I.U. Each one revealing information towards backstory of the Special Investigation Unit.

When you're confirming a decision, there's a collapsible, including speech from the person, as if you're there right then. And then a sort of confirm choice link. It will lead you to a mission aftermath page, giving you information on if a similar incident happened again, and a few tabs of updates for each division.

Missions are supposed to mark a new month. When new documents are created and added, they're added to the appropriate tab related to the Division. They could be made by community members, or by me.

So, if you have any criticism, please only talk about S.I.U Missions only.

Have you shopped the idea of the ARG around before skipping straight to the actual idea?

Zyn is an admin, and Captain of the Forum Crit team, here on the wiki. If she's poking holes in an idea, it probably needs work. Everything here is out-of-character, as we don't normally allow roleplay on the forums of any kind.

All of these things seem like they may be entertaining if you did them in real life, but you could accomplish all of this with a CYOA tale, rather than a nebulous "ARG".

I think the issue here is that there seems to be an assumption made that everyone is following your exact train of thought. To a reviewer who is only seeing this thread, they have no idea what S.I.D. is, what the ARG Factory is, what the Special Investigation Unit of the Special Incidents Department is, or what missions even are on the mainsite.

In your previous thread, you were already thinking about a main hub before you had any successful pages posted, so it really feels like you're kind of rushing and jumping the gun here. If you're planning on "at least four pages for the first mission", why are so many pages needed? What happens if the first mission page gets downvoted and deleted?

What will the first page, and only the first page, of whatever you're planning for the missions look like? One step at a time.
